The City of London Corporation announced last week that it will sponsor the Social Mobility Employers’ Index, a new initiative from the Social Mobility Foundation and Social Mobility Commission which ranks Britain’s top businesses on how open they are to accessing talent from all backgrounds.
We are backing the Index with £70,000 of funding as part of our aim to encourage and support the capital’s responsible businesses.
The Index gives firms from across the UK the opportunity to showcase the progress they are making towards improving social mobility by ensuring they recruit the best people for the job – regardless of their social background.
